Full Pay Video Poker Machines

It is better to work with good paymasters, rather than working for those who do not pay. The same is true with choosing to play on Full pay video poker machines rather than in short pay machines.

Full pay video poker machines are those machines which provide you with the maximum payout.  This does not mean that you will be getting a 100% pay off, but these are those machines that provide you with the maximum payout for the right strategy.

There is a full pay version for each kind of video poker game.  Whether you are playing Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Tens or better or any other variant you need to make sure that you are playing the full pay version if making the maximum money is your aim.

Casinos usually mention that this is a full pay version or short pay version on such machines.  Even in online casinos you can look for the links that state “Play Full Pay Video Poker.”

There is a common misconception that full pay versions give a better edge for the player over the casino! This is not true, but this is a kind of machine, which provides the player with the best kind of odds.

You will be able to notice when you watch closely that all video poker machines do not provide the same odds for the players.  In fact, different video poker machines offering the same variant will provide different player odds for the same hand.  And, it can also be seen that the same strategy will not work in all machines.

Though the full pay video poker machine provides the player with a mathematical edge, playing in such machines does not guarantee a sure winning, you need to still play with a meticulous and strategic approach.

The full house and the Flush payouts should be specifically looked in to in the full pay versions.  Especially in jacks or better, the machine will pay 9 coins for full house and 6 coins for flush, such machines are known as 9/6.  If the machine is not providing 9/6 then it is a short pay machine which will give 8/5 or 7/5 or in some cases even 6/5. When you play jacks or better you might have to well consider looking in to check two pairs and royal straight flush payouts too.

Short pay machines are going to cost you lots of money! This is one reason why people choose the full pay versions. Winning more sessions than what you loose is not important, but winning more coins than what you invest is important.  Full pay will be right if you are equipped with strategies.
